The Grandfather Paradox

When Schwarz, Ame & Dixon first started thinking about the compilation, they had in mind the idea to put together a great minimal techno selection with stuff from the early 90s, which really inspired them, like Robert Hood, Dan Bell, Plastikman, Pansonic and Mike Ink to name a few. Whilst working on the project Schwarz, Ame & Dixon had the feeling that there is so much greater and influential minimal music from way before the techno thing started.

So Schwarz, Ame & Dixon were very excited to combine the music from the electronic pioneers, with the tracks from the minimal techno godfathers, in a very modern way. In Minimal Music there is so much (space) in between the sounds and the space that gives you a lot of opportunities for an own interpretation.

'The Grandfather Paradox' is a scientific theory about time travelling and was first described by the science fiction writer Rene Barjavel in his book 'Le Voyageur Imprudent'. Schwarz, Ame & Dixon took suggestions out of that because they felt like we are travelling back in time and manipulating the old music with modern knowledge. The fact that Schwarz, Ame & Dixon did all this with the deserved respect to the originals makes them quite sure that the results are bringing something new and interesting to the old tracks and transport the past into the here and now.
